Kid Floral

David Finchum (born April 25, 2006), better known by his stage names Kid Floral, Lil Boxx, fubarsinclair and Pain is an American singer, rapper, producer, songwriter and mid man. He was one of the first artists to be signed to Flex Entertainment in the early months of the label's history. He would make the transition from his meme rap persona Lil Boxx to his more serious persona Kid Floral in early 2020. He would begin gaining traction after being heavily promoted by then executive Lil Toy Yoda. Floral would leave Flex Entertainment after the release of his third studio album in February 2022. Since leaving, not much has been heard from Floral and many view him as one of the biggest fall offs in Flex Entertainment history. in the underground music scene. He is also founder of the controversial and defunct group “Pedals Inc.”

He is best known for his songs "Advantage", "TUNA", "Restart" and "Tavis". His album titled "Pollen" was a poor release commercially but a critical hit that was called one of the best Flex projects of it's time. In recent months however it has been criticized for it's shallow depiction of relationships and heartbreak.

Floral's music can be characterized by it's tendency to dwell on teenage heartbreak and romance although this depiction comes across as incredibly shallow. He produces his own music like various other Flex artists and was considered one of the best at producing in Flex during his time in the label, being responsible for the beat of Lil Mosquito Disease's smash 2021 hit "Just for Show Reloaded". While his older releases were more trap based, his newer ones appear to be going more into hyperpop and grunge, much to the dismay of his fanbase which appears to have abandoned the artist after the genre transition.

Early Career and Lil Boxx (2019)
Floral would start rapping under the name Lil Boxx in early 2019, signing to Flex Entertainment shortly after beginning his musical career. His music at this time was characterized as typical music from Flex at the time, often resorting to low quality beats from YouTube, lyrics about drugs and women and an annoying vocal delivery. His debut album under the name would release on May 11. The album was titled "Fake Gold" and featured a deep fried album cover art. The project was not listened to by many but for those who heard it the project was seen as terrible and almost unlistenable. The project has since been deleted after Floral's SoundCloud was hacked in late 2020.

Floral would be featured on the May 24 release of Flex Gang, Vol. 1 with a track titled "$plurgin". The track was not a fan favorite and was not talked about much when the album released and has mostly stayed that way since.

Name change, LUCID LIVING and Pollen
Floral would change his name from Lil Boxx to Kid Floral in early 2020, citing the desire to have his music taken more seriously and less of as a joke. He would release his second album "LUCID LIVING" on March 3. The album was another flop commercially and critically although some listeners noted improvement from the Lil Boxx album. Floral would remain mostly quiet but would appear on Yung Schmoobin's hit song "Eat, Sleep, Flex Repeat" in March and also with his own track "Ben Killed Jerry" on Flex Gang, Vol. 2 in July. Floral would release his first semi-big hit under the Kid Floral name with Happy Again on May 28. The song was a pop rap track featuring vocals from Lil Toy Yoda and A.J. and was met with decent reception for it's improvement over his past work.

Floral would found the Pedals Inc collective in September with the founding members being Yung Tegga and Lil Toy Yoda. The collective would stay relatively quiet for the month but would gain some new members in October with xofilo (then LVN Filo), Young Ryan G, Emily Finchum, Yung Garfield, J Coyn Drive and reluctantly Lil Mosquito Disease joining. Floral would drop his first album under the Kid Floral name on September 25. The album was titled "Pollen" and featured performances from Lil Squeaky, 905emerald (then Emerald), xofilo (then LVN Filo) and Young Ryan G. The album went under the rader upon release but was gassed up over the next few months by then Flex Entertainment executive Lil Toy Yoda who called it "the best serious album from Flex Entertainment so far". Due to the praise of the album, Floral would begin getting more popular in Flex and would end the year being one of the most popular in the label.

Airhead Tape Vol. 1 & decline (2021)
Floral would release a few new singles at the beginning of 2021 including "2020" and "Brains". The song that would take off however was his new single titled "TUNA" which featured Lil Toy Yoda and Yung Tegga. The song was reminiscent of old SoundCloud rap and had Freddie Dredd style production. The song was an instant hit and was featured on the March 5 release of Flex Gang Vol 3, being a fan favorite on the album. Around this time however, Floral's collective Pedals Inc would begin to encounter issues and lose steam as more and more members would quit the collective for various reasons. Lil Mosquito Disease and Yung Tegga in particular would get into heated arguments resulting in Mosquito distancing himself from the group, claiming that it was a circle jerk of people who would just hate on Flex members who weren't in the collective.

Floral would release his first mixtape titled "Airhead Tape Vol. 1" on May 20. The tape was received very well with many praising the production, vocals and energy Floral brought to the songs. The tracks "Naive" and "Love Me" in particular would gain critical approval with the latter track being considered one of the best emotional and heartbreak based tracks to be release from Flex Entertainment up there with "In Bloom" by Lil Squeaky. Floral would stay quiet for the rest of the year, only releasing the tracks "Friends" with xofilo and "MINE". Both songs would be swept under the radar by other releases and Floral appeared to have lost the popularity he once had only a year before.

nutmeg and departure (2022)
On January 10, Floral would release the first single for his next album. The single was titled "Freak" and was a shoegaze track. While the track was not heard by as many as one might expect, the ones who did hear would praise the track for it's change in direction from his more emo-hyperpop style releases of 2021. Floral would release his fourth album "nutmeg" on February 1 to mixed reception. While some praised it for it's change in style and nice sounding production, most criticized it for it's incredibly shallow depiction of love and poor singing performance from Floral with many claiming the songs were offkey due to an overabundance of bad autotune plugins. Shortly after the album's release, Floral would leave the label for unknown reasons.

Since leaving Flex Entertainment, not much has been heard from Floral. He would change his stage name from Kid Floral to just "floral" before also changing it to "fubarsinclair". His latest name change has been met with criticism with many calling the name terrible and unintentionally funny.

On March 8, 2023, Floral’s old alias Lil Boxx returned to the server, cussing in all caps for Flex to sign him. Using “nostalgia bait”, he was able to get on the side of Mosquito and Squeaky as well as most of the Flex community. He was put into consideration to be signed to Flex again despite Beetle and Lambo being against it.
